Petite Maison Blanche, Heritage house in Chicoutimi, Canada.
The Petite Maison Blanche stands at 441 Rue Gédéon, featuring white wooden walls and a simple architectural design characteristic of early 20th-century Canadian residences.
Built in 1900, this house gained recognition in 1996 when it withstood a major flood that destroyed neighboring structures during four days of rising waters.
The house operates as a museum that documents the regional floods and preserves the memories of natural disasters that shaped the local community.
Visitors can explore exhibits about flood history, structural preservation, and architectural elements while learning about Quebec heritage through guided tours.
This residence remained completely intact during the 1996 deluge, while surrounding buildings were swept away by the powerful waters from an overflowing dam.
